Patch #25320
closed
Remove initial indentation of blockquotes for better readability
90%
Description
Currently, quoted text in Redmine is rendered with the blockquote element which is styled to be a grey vertical bar.
On the second and onward levels, the indentation of quotes equals the width of the bar plus some padding to the right.
Only on the first level, there is some additional margin to the left indenting the entire quote block even more. I find quotes to be more readable and more visually appealing if this margin was removed. Hence this patch.
How it looks now:

The patch will also apply this to HTML in notification emails.

I think that source:trunk/app/views/layouts/mailer.html.erb@16087#L28 should be updated if the proposed patch is merged.

Thanks for your feedback, Go and Marius.
Sadly, I overlooked RTL support. Here's an updated patch including the proposed change for RTL writing systems, e.g. Arabic.

I disagree on this one. I prefer the indentation, which I think makes the quote stand out more. Any chance of making this optional?

I don't think so. However, as this change consists of (mostly) theme-able CSS, it should be pretty easy to modify your theme to re-add the indentation.
